       Remembering The Goose, The Island and Human Nature

       I remember so vividly a small restaurant called Granny Goose
       and the mouth watering spaghetti that they served, it was
       located at Lopue's Mandalagan along the stretch of Lacson
       Street. Granny Goose was where we brought our girlfriends on
       weekend afternoon dates, hang out after school for a slice of
       pizza or a fill of ice cream cobbler and banana split.Coney
       Island, which was a few meters away from Spectrum Disco was like
       our pit stop before indulging ourselves in a night of revelry at
       one of the only two discos (or as we now call it clubs) in
       Bacolod. The entrance fee was only 25.00php and yet for most of
       us back in the day, it was already considered a lot. So what we
       did was save up our daily allowance of 5.00php so we could spend
       it for the party weekends. There was this obscure place that my
       friends and I would refer to as "Human Nature" (taken from
       Michael Jackson's song) along the "Abkasa" area somewhere within
       the vicinity of the Lady of Mercy Hospital and Mountain View
       Subdivision. There in that place we would act like typical
       teenagers, frolicking while enjoying the sight nature as the sun
       began set. My daughter once wrote in an article she submitted
       for an on line magazine that "what makes us miss Bacolod is not
       so much the place itself but the people that makes Bacolod what
       it is...Home."
